Bab 19: New Skill: Corpse Explosion
Four weapons lay neatly lined up in front of them. Weapons of Bronze quality, gleaming in a pale blue light that was somewhat reminiscent of the gleam on the skeletonized body of the warrior.
Ning Yi Yi remarked, "These are all weapons from the Carmen Orc Legion dungeon." Lin Moyu was somewhat taken aback as he had never heard of this dungeon before. Noticing Lin Moyu's confusion, Ning Yi Yi explained further, "The Carmen Orc Legion Dungeon is a level 20 dungeon outside Shao Hai City. The three of them often conduct dungeons there." Lin Moyu nodded. These four pieces of bronze equipment were useless to him, but they could earn him some money. Without further ado, he collected the four pieces of bronze, to which Ning Yi Yi had no objection.
There were still some materials left, such as wolf skins, animal bones and green shoots, but not large quantities. Lin Moyu also collected them without hesitation. Every little bit counts, as they say.
After stowing away the weapons and materials, there was only one item left.
[The scroll of the primary skill.]
[Description: Grants skills below level 20, with a chance to acquire previously learned skills]
Unexpectedly, it was a Primary Skill Scroll worth 100,000 gold coins, so it was quite valuable. Lin Moyu held the scroll in his hand and wondered whether he should use it or sell it.
Ning Yi Yi asked, "You've never used a scroll with a primary skill before, right?" Lin Moyu nodded, indeed, he hadn't.
"Then you can give it a try; there's a chance you'll get back skills you've already learned, but you can also learn new ones."
"Wait, you don't want to sell it, do you? You're not that strapped for cash, are you?"
"It's just a scroll with basic skills, not a high-level one that's only worth a few coins," Ning Yi Yi said as if 100,000 gold coins didn't matter. Obviously, her background was quite remarkable.
Lin Moyu held the scroll in his hand and asked, "How can I use it?" Ning Yi Yi chuckled, "It's very simple, you just need to hold the scroll and say 'use' out loud."
Lin Moyu followed her instructions without suspicion.
"Use!"
The scroll remained silent.
Ning Yi Yi said, "Oh no, your voice wasn't loud enough; you need to say 'use' louder."
Lin Moyu looked at her but didn't try again. Even though he had never used it before, he wasn't stupid. What nonsense about the voice being too quiet; he didn't believe it for a moment. Lin Moyu had already guessed the method of use; he directly activated the scroll with his mental power.
Ning Yi Yi watched Lin Moyu eagerly and waited for him to call out "use" twice. But Lin Moyu remained silent. Suddenly, the scroll shone with bright light and enveloped Lin Moyu.
Ning Yi Yi exclaimed in surprise, her face full of disappointment, "You found out." She had wanted to tease Lin Moyu, but he had found the right way to use her. Quite a flop.
The scroll turned into a ball of light that surrounded Lin Moyu.
[Skill learned: Corpse Explosion.]
[Corpse Explosion (Level 1): Explodes corpses and deals 10% of the corpse's health as damage to enemies within 1 meter]
With the acquisition of a new skill, the scroll wasn't in vain after all. Corpse Explosion" was currently at level 1, which means that this skill can only be learned at level 10.
If you look at the description of the skill, it doesn't seem to be anything special at first glance. A range of only 1 meter — what can you do with it? That's not enough. Moreover, its power is based on the corpse's life value. Lin Moyu could understand this concept of the life value of corpses. In the eyes of a necromancer, corpses also have life. Their life consists of flesh, bones and even souls. Even if they're dead, the corpse's life value doesn't diminish in comparison to life. Just like some powerful beings whose bodies don't decay for thousands of years after death and continue to radiate immense energy.
But Lin Moyu saw something else in this. This was a group attack ability. If he was dealing with thousands of enemies, he couldn't rely on the skeleton warriors to take them out one by one. That would be too slow. Now he could detonate the corpse of a slain enemy and use it to damage the enemies in the ability's area of effect. When an enemy is killed by the explosion, new corpses are created. He could then continue to explode corpses, one after the other. As long as his mental power wasn't exhausted, the ability didn't stop. Was a range of 1 meter in combination with his talent even a problem? It already had a range of 20 meters now, and its lethality had reached 200%. Another divine ability! As long as his talent existed, almost all of his abilities were divine.
The scroll's light went out.
Ning Yi Yi blinked her eyes, her face filled with anticipation, "How was it? Did you learn a new skill?"
"I did." Lin Moyu didn't blame Ning Yi Yi for teasing him earlier. Ning Yi Yi was just being playful and mischievous; as a grown man, he wasn't so petty.
Ning Yi Yi laughed happily, "Your voice sounds beautiful, why don't you like talking? What a pity."
Lin Moyu looked at her; this girl seemed different from the girls at his school. She was lively and playful.
"Your voice sounds nice too." Lin Moyu rarely praised people. He wasn't averse to talking, he just didn't like engaging in idle chatter. But he was by no means reserved in front of his sister Lin Mohan and his grandmother.
Ning Yi Yi seemed very pleased and giggled: "Thanks for the compliment; I know my voice sounds good."
"As thanks for the rescue and the compliment, I'll give you this." With these words, Ning Yi Yi took out a box and handed it directly to Lin Moyu.
[Advanced Skill Scroll]
[Description: Awakens skills between level 40 and 70, with a chance to acquire previously learned skills]
On the trading market, the price of an intermediate skill scroll could be as high as 10 million gold coins, which was a hundred times the price of a main skill scroll. It was very expensive and valuable. At least for Lin Moyu, it was worth a fortune at the moment!
Ning Yi Yi mentioned that the people chasing them were also after this scroll. So why wouldn't he just give it away after saying that?
